The congregation began services in 1927. The first building was occupied in 1948, with a subsequent building program in 1958. Franz F. Enns is considered the founding leader of the group. The congregation originated through immigration from the Soviet Union. The congregation was previously part of Whitewater church.

After a new meetingplace was constructed in 1958 the old one was moved to Mather and there rebuilt for the use of the Mather congregation.
